TN to install ANPR, speed cameras at RTO check posts to curb corruption
In a major push to curb corruption, eliminate manual intervention, and ease traffic bottlenecks at state border points, Tamil Nadu's Commissionerate of Transport and Road Safety has approved the installation of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras at 22 Regional Transport Office (RTO) check posts across the state.
In addition, speed-detection cameras will be deployed at nine key locations.
According to officials, the move marks a significant step towards digitising vehicle monitoring and reducing tailbacks—particularly at heavily congested border check posts such as Bannari, Hosur, Serkadu, and Pethikuppam.
With the new system, commercial drivers and tourist vehicles will be able to pay road taxes online and pass through without exiting their vehicles.
